Wild-game management is the subject of this campfire program, not just an ingredient on the menu. Mt. Cuba Center frames the discussion around how managing wild game relates to protecting its native plants and landscapes, then invites guests to build custom tacos from grilled game, seasonal vegetables and toppings.
A conservation question rooted in place
The program’s stated learning aim links wild-game management to the protection of Mt. Cuba’s plants and landscapes. That focus fits the center’s work with plants native to the Appalachian Piedmont, pursued through conservation as well as garden display, education and research.
The event description does not specify particular wildlife-management methods. Its announced scope is the relationship between managing wild game and protecting the natural lands where the program takes place.
